    So far the only live stuff I’ve seen on my 360 has been soccer. But I am very impressed with how well it works. On all the shows, live included, buffering only lasts a second or two and it starts playing. I wonder if it is an IPTV protocol.

    I keep meaning to check out the Netflix and voice chat improvements but I get side tracked.

    And it looks like the XBOX site is getting ready to offer the family subscription soon.  I wonder if the fall update had to be in place before they open that subscription up.

    I’ll definitely watch the 6 episodes and hope they can come up with fresh material to continue.

    As far as Spartacus, I wonder how it will go with them having to cast a new actor for Spartacus.

    I’m jealous :-). Indy doesn’t get squat outside the race. I don’t even see us on Sprint’s list to get 4G.

    I run these in Raid 0 but even 1 is much faster than the Kingston. It is about 10 bucks more and read and writes are 70 – 80Mbps faster.

    I’d take a look at a glossy white case. To match my Wii and XBOX. I think white and silver hide dust better.

    The lids look interesting. Are they held down by those cam locks? I wonder if a felt gasket on the bottom of the lids would be needed for vibration.

    I am a Gigabyte fan personally.
    If I were to build today I’d go with this one.

    I try to find a balance of price and good reviews. And even if I plan on using a discrete video card I like having on board video for troubleshooting or eventually if the board goes into WHS server duty or one of the kids PCs I can get the power savings of the onboard video and better airflow.

    If I knew I was building an ATX case I would use an ATX board.

    My reasons.

    1. You can space out the cards you put in for better airflow
    2. You never know what you might want to add later. If you already are using a discrete video card and a discrete sound card then 2 of the four slots are full. If you were to throw in a Ceton tuner your PCI-e slot would be goen and now you are already down to 1 and each cards is pretty much on top of the other.
    3. I potentially see a USB 3 card in my future also.

    I’d either buy into it if it were in my TV or if it came with a cablecard.
